Made this as my entry into Udon's "MegaMan Tribute" art book. Didn't get in, but I still highly recommend you pick up a copy!

So this is every Robot Master from the first 7 MegaMan games. Originally I was going to call this "The Men of Mega" and have a gigantic collage of all the Robot Masters from every single game all in one gigantic picture. I tried a few different arrangements of the "windows" from the stage select screens of the games, with the windows being in different sizes and locations in no specific pattern. Eventually, I settled on a more linear design like the one above, assembling the windows in the order of their appropriate games.

I tried to make each Robot Master as distinctive and unique as possible and opted out of doing -every- single one up until 7, so nothing from 8-10 or "& Bass" unfortunately. Once I assembled them however, I felt like something was missing...so I decided to toss in Rock 'n Rush. I toyed with the idea of having Beat, Eddie and maybe Roll, but decided to stick with the two primary characters you start with in most of the NES games. I think they came out pretty well; tried to make Rush fairly cute-looking instead of like an annoying Scooby knock-of. The Robot Masters I tried to put a fair amount of detail into each one, although some of them I put a slight bit more effort into based on if they were a personal fav.
